What did your child's head teacher say about children off school

[mazahy]

During the bad weather some children took a day or two off school. At hunter's bar juniors during the school assembly children who had not taken a day off were told to stand up, the rest of the children were told they should be ashamed of them selves.

I do not think this was fair as the parents decide if a child can go to school or not. Also I dont think its right to talk to children like that.

Let me know whet you think

cheers

Sounds perfectley fair to me!!

Hunters Bar Juniors has a huge catchment and children come in from places like Netherthorpe so if that was said it does seem a bit wrong (especially if the fault was put on the children rather than a stern letter going to the parents).

If the said those words and were that harsh to the children then they should be ashamed of their selves! I would complain to somebody higher up about that as children get enough bullying in school.

People have legs, they should use them, if the schools that far away maybe they are in the wrong catchment area? Often parents lie to try and get into a school in a better catchment area?

the point i was making in the post was that it was parents not children that made the decision so she could have sent them a letter maybe insted of talking to 8 to 11 year olds like that

I agree to that, but i'm highly doubtful the school worded it like was put in the OP.

 

Especially with the news network that is Sheffield forum, i'm sure the school wouldn't want to appear on here after classics such as 'hot custart', 'hot food', 'cold food', 'slippery play grounds' and many others.

I can assure you that was how the school worded it

If that was what happened I think you should be asking for a copy of the schools complaints policy and making one.

I will be doing that, nice to know im not the only one who thinks it was wrong. Do not understand how none of the other teachers said anything
